**CONTENT WARNING: this episode has mentions of sexual harassment/assault.** Stephanie and Cam talk about the nature of consent in image usage for another artist’s work.

Stephanie and Cameron discuss the somewhat recent story of racist fuckery unleashed on a group of 7th graders that occurred at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. They dig into the fact that there’s no way this was an isolated incident but wonder if the outcome (the museum introducing “sensitivity training” and banning former members that perpetuated racism) was enough.

Yet another favorite artist of Stephanie’s has recently made headlines—oh wait, did I say “favorite artist”? Oh sorry, I meant another of Steph’s favorite artists to deeply despise. Cam and Steph discuss the piece simply known as “Rabbit” by Jeff Koons, which sold at auction for a cool $91 million. While they’re glad Koons doesn’t actually see that money, they do have a thought or two on the piece itself and implications of the sale. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Steph and Cam discuss a (somewhat) recent controversy sparked by a Tweet made on webcomic artist Nathan Pyle’s Twitter about the march for life and “pro-life” movement in general back in 2017. It raised some questions and concerns amongst progressive fans about whether or not this creator is anti-abortion. Cam and Steph talk about how it seems that he has left it up to interpretation with a half-baked answer following the backlash. Also, this episode has a handful of those infamous poOoOoOlarizing opinions, so…be warned. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

You may have heard about “SpaghettiO Girl” before, but if not, Steph and Cam would like to tell you a bit about her in this episode and give you some of their thoughts on her notorious, once-viral performance piece: “Interior Semiotics”. It involves SpaghettiO’s, a pair of scissors, students at SAIC…and, well, you might be able to fill in the rest. Beyond this, they also talk about some work by the well-known performance artist, Marina Ambramović, and why her pieces seem to have more impact than other performance works out there.

Cam and Steph recently found out about a play called All In A Row that went up in the UK last month. The play sounds to have been, uh, Extremely Bad…however, not everyone thought so. Which is to say, there were people who think it’s totally chill to portray autistic kids as ugly gray puppets and make reference to them being animals…? HUH. Well, Stephanie and Cam have a few thoughts on the, um, choices that were made to bring this play together. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Steph and Cam talk about some of Frida Kahlo’s works which put her health issues in the main focus. They discuss the way that Kahlo has been used as a symbol for White Feminists (TM) that partake in what is known as “Fridamania”. In this episode, they look at the following works: Without Hope, Self-Portrait with the Portrait of Doctor Farill, and The Broken Column. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Do the political works of contemporary painter Jon McNaughton have similarities to those of Thomas Benton Hart? And is McNaughton’s work straight up propaganda? Or does all his work basically say: stop being mean to Dahnowd Twump! He’s twying to make America GREAT by ruining the lives of millions of Americans and putting babies in cages and stuff! Will the artist and his dear subject will make it through these hard and trying times? Steph and Cam talk about this in regards to one of McNaughton’s recent paintings, "National Emergency".

Steph sent Cam an article about an artist in France whose show was recently pulled due to accusations of plagiarism. When critics said, “Gee, this dude’s work sure looks a lot like Jean-Michel Basquiat’s stuff.” (but in French), Verda claimed to not even know who Basquiat was. Cam and Stephanie dig into this claim on this episode, and…spoiler alert…they’re not buying it. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Just a note going forward! Steph and Cam are going to start releasing episodes on Sunday and they’re gonna shoot for shorter, more digestible episodes, too! Hopefully y’all enjoy them! In this one, Steph and Cam are talking about Webcomics and how and why they seem to resonate with millennials. Their relatability, their instant messages, and share-ability are just some of the things that make these works huge hits with our humble group of debt-ridden peers. Like whatchur hearing?

In honor of Black History Month, Steph and Cam wanted to talk about some of the life and works of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Tune in as they discuss their thoughts on 3 of his works: The Irony of the Negro Policeman, Untitled (1982), and Riding With Death. And since Andy Warhol was in Basquiat’s life, they also get side-tracked and talk a bit his most recent re-surfacing in a Burger King ad. Are they impressed with it? Ehhh. Do they really enjoy Basquiat’s work? YEEEAH! Yep, even Stephanie enjoys the wild lines and bold colors. It’s too hard not to. Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Also, it’s STUPID cold in Chicago, which means it was a bit difficult for Steph and Cam to get together to record this week.

Steph and Cam have returned! Cam got these new lapel mics and it turns out…they’re, uh…NOT GREAT. So, apologies for the poor audio quality! They’ll go back to their old, much better-sounding mics next time—promise! In this episode, Steph and Cam discuss resolutions, both personal and for the podcast, what went down on the several-week-long break and bid a fond farewell to fake commercials. At least…for now. After the break, they dig into just why it is Steph has a distaste for Jackson Pollock. Also, Cam reveals there’s an artist's work they’re not so fond of either. Who could it be? WHO KNOWS?!

After a week off, Steph and Cam are back to discuss the idea of an artist having natural talent vs working hard to get where they want to be. They talk a bit about how what kind of life you’re born into plays a role, whether they think people can be born with skill, what happens if you’ve got the talent but no drive and vise-versa, and…for some reason…they also talk about basketball for a second.

…Well…mostly the 90’s. Steph and Cam talk about a list of fictional characters that were either artists or just undeniably creative. Just a few “people” on the list include: Judy Funny (Doug), Jane Lane (Daria), Ricky Fitts (American Beauty), Enid (Ghost World), and a bunch more! Steph and Cam are probably more tired than drunk in this one, yet they still ask those burning questions! What do these characters have in common? What makes them stand apart?

Combined, Steph and Cam have a little over a decade’s worth of experience working in that somewhat niche sector of retail: The Art Supply Store (TM)! So they wanted to talk about, not only their personal experiences with the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of this life…but they wanted to set a few expectations for anyone considering working in an art store. Overall, they think you should go for it if you want to…just…ya know, get ready to wear a lot of hats. Mostly cool hats. But some hats you don’t get paid enough to wear, too. So…there’s that. They know it’s a long one…but stick around till the end to hear about their multiple celebrity sightings had while being art store employees! Like whatchur hearing? Please consider supporting us!

Nothing; it all has not a thing to do with Banksy. So…do these topics get spoken about in this episode about Banksy? You bet’chur bottom.

Steph and Cam are joined by special guest, Emil Brewer (http://instagram.com/lime4ever)! The three discuss that big idea of how race plays into art. Emil shares some of his background around finding his love of art in high school, and the group talks about the ways people of color find themselves becoming their own resources to help each other nourish the things they love. They discuss how white spaces that house art can tend to look at works by people of color and other marginalized groups as “niche”. Is art that is made *of* people of color *by* white people considered not “niche” and more “valuable”? Is there a way that white folks can just…do better? And yes, the episode does touch on serious topics, but we do have a chuckle or two. You may even hear about something that reveals just how white Cam is when they admit they might be a *little* interested in the idea of an art show centered around paintings of Lassie (yes the dog).

So, it takes Steph and Cam like 10 minutes to properly credit this song: https://youtu.be/D3-MAJBhwfQ which they play a clip of in the first couple minutes, but HANG TIGHT (they’re tipsy-er that usual in this one). They *do* start talking about the topic at hand. I promise. They briefly ponder things like: is nostalg-art (nostalgia + pop art) a thing? Are Vines the first true video-style memes? And they wonder if maybe memes are, more than anything, a form of non-confrontational communication with others. Also, can memes that use combinations of art or media with silly text be separated? In other words, could the MEME be…unSEEN? They also try to sing the Space Jam theme at one point. It’s bad. Real bad. Help us keep the podcast running!

What do K-Pop and Andy Warhol have in common? Steph and Cam attempt to figure that out in this episode! They also discuss whether K-pop is a sincere art form, how it compares to western pop, and does K-pop maybe challenge people’s perception of music altogether? Cam is new to this world, so Steph helped them out by sending them music videos by Psy, (Gangnam style), BTS, Big Bang, Girls Generation, 2NE1, and Blackpink.

Stephanie and Cam are joined by Sean Dempsey ( https://instagram.com/smdempseycomics | http://smdempseycomics.com ) to dig into to round two of our fan art discussion! There’s lots to chew on in this one, like: is Roy Liechtenstein’s work technically fan art? What in god’s name is “Sonic Dreams Collection” and does it count as fan art? Do art pieces of drag queens and furries have similarities? What’s the difference between commercial march and fan art? Plus so, so much more. We also mention art by Chad Sell, which you can check out here: https://instagram.com/chadsell01.

So…full disclosure: Steph and Cam are getting *really* close to locking down their new schedules IRL, but they’re both still in the middle of some hectic (but ultimately very positive) changes. That being said, they decided to do a slightly more personal episode. This week, they talk about who (and what) their biggest inspirations have been over the years.

They also discuss the cosmetic line, Benefit and get into their thoughts about what it is that even makes design good. Also, they chat about a shared favorite design: Secret Hitler. Also, Steph and Cam discover that they both enjoy two different brands (Brandless and The Ordinary) whose whole thing is…like…no brand? Don’t worry, you’ll see what they mean.

Welcome to part two of a ~sober~ art chat (Stephanie was still working to get over her sinus infection). Cam and Steph DID have Starbucks, however! (not sponsored) Also, apologies for the particularly loud noises that Cam’s neighbors were making. Maybe they just really want to be on the show in some way or something, who knows. In this episode, Stephanie and Cam talk about some of their favorite brands of art supplies, some they don’t love, and everything in between. A few brands they discuss are: Crayola, Rose Art, Faber-Castell, Reeves, Cotman watercolors by W & N (Wizard Newman—just kidding—Windsor Newton), Golden, Sennelier, Daniel Smith, Liquitex, Copic, Prismacolor, NuPastel, and Gelli Plates. Plus, they answer some art supply related FAQs like: is it possible to get good supplies on a budget, and why are they so dang expensive? Can you mix oils with acrylics? Is there any way to seal watercolors and markers? Music by Jonathan Stutz: http://stutzmusic.bandcamp.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

Note: slight spoilers about mid-series Steven Universe! Stephanie’s partner, Paul Myers, joins in for a *sober* art chat (Steph was on antibiotics and not looking to mix meds with booze). Travel with them to a little-known place (lol jk) called the nineties/early 2000’s as they all discuss some popular animated shows and whether or not they think cartoons are just for kids. Hear talk of Arthur memes, struggles separating Ren and Stimpy’s creator from the show, and somewhat terrifying Ash Ketchum impressions! They touch on shows like Gumby, Unico, Liquid Television, Daria, Home Movies, Dr. Katz, The Critic, and a buttload more. Also in this episode, a discussion around politics in cartoons and examination of Disney’s “Der Fuehrer's Face” and ways in why they think it is people forgive racism in cartoons. Paul discusses his experiences animating and both he and Cam geek out over rotoscoping. Plus, soon much more!

Steph and Cam are joined by dear friend and multi-talented local artist: Jonathan Stutz! You might recognize their name from the credits and some past shows, as Jonathan has so graciously provided this podcast with their music. Cameron and Steph recently came across a video (which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/H0NZ1v7g-ss) about a phenomenon known as cryptomnesia. They were super interested in the concept and wanted to dig into it more, which is what they all do while Cam and Steph enjoy a few sips of some super good sangria. Since there's A LOT that gets touched on in this episode, we're just gonna list it all for you. Give'r a listen if ya like: blues music, Vanilla Ice/Under Pressure debacle, Slam poetry, Photoshop art (specifically Rob Sheridan's), Thor & God of War, Taylor Swift/Beyonce, Weird Al, Tim and Eric, The Eric Andre Show, NIN/David Bowie, Tropes in TV & RomComs, and Tangled vs Frozen.

At some point in this one, Cameron and Stephanie realize that they inadvertently made part two of their “Separating the Artist from the Art” episode. But first! They spend the first five minutes of the episode trying to and figure out *their* way of saying they “toot” or “boot” about a piece (and what they land on is so, uh…creative). During the critique, they talk about artworks made by: George W. Bush, Jim Carrey, Kat Von D, and Miley Cyrus. Oh, also, they go a little longer than they thought they would, so no fake commercial in this episode. Oops.

Scott Nichols joins Cam and Stephanie again as they all discuss their definitions of fan art. For once in their life, Cam has a somewhat strong opinion on something! It differs from Scott's thoughts, so Stephanie helps moderate the debate. Also, Scott asks the burning question…is the movie “Rookie of the Year” fan art? And Cam’s brain explodes. To follow along with the pieces they are looking at, here are links to the pieces they discuss the most: “Super 3” by Jon Kay (instagram.com/jonkador): bit.ly/ep11-super3 “Pink Panther” by Jeff Koons: bit.ly/ep11-pinkpanther Music by Jonathan Stutz: http://stutzmusic.bandcamp.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

Semisonic said it best in their song “Closing Time”: ‘Every new art comes from some other art's trend’. Er…close enough. In episode 9, Steph and Cam discuss all the trends they’ve noticed pop up in art such as: zen tangle, adult coloring books, paint by numbers, pixel art, and art with geometric shading. They also talk about more recent fads like cacti and succulents, mermaids, unicorns, embroidery, hand lettering, and paint pouring. And Stephanie has some thoughts on the evolution of trends in anime and cartoons. Following the break, they reflect on what these trends say about society and touch on all that good, good 90’s kid nostalgia we’re always seeing these days.

Cameron and Stephanie kick it off by giving us their definitions of traditional and digital art, and then Cam forgets the name of the artist who paints with her fingers (it was Iris Scott). Then they each attempt to answer some burning questions, such as: will digital art ever *replace* traditional art? Is Quark still a thing (their website would make it seem so, but they’re probably not taking down the juggernaut that is Adobe anytime soon)? Also, should Cam and Steph have studied computer programming (Cam’s experience attempting to teach two 8-year-olds HTML might shed light on the answer)? And how about the fact that there’s technically no “original” piece with digital work—does that make it less valuable? oh, and, this isn’t art related, but somewhere in this episode…Stephanie definitely teaches Cam some alternative words for “taint”.

Let's talk about Drag, bay-b! Well, let's talk about some of the more well-known drag shows out there, at least. Cam and Steph discuss stuff about RuPaul's Drag Race (including recent controversies), The Boulet Brothers' Dragula, James St. James, and a buncha other folx in the drag scene. They also talk about Drag King Landon Cider, why they think drag is on the rise, and if they themselves would ever try to do an actual drag performance. They still don't really know what their drag names should be. Music by Jonathan Stutz (stutzmusic.bandcamp.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

So...Steph and Cam are kind of obsessed with bad movies. They'll discuss quite a few, so be warned that there are indeed spoilers! This episode kicks off with a somewhat impromptu game wrapped around some clips for Alejandro Jodorowsky's, Santa Sangre (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx2vwzXF1B0) and the trailer for Menahem Golan's, The Apple (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uix3tbov65o). They also dig into the...uh...artfulness(?) of Repo The Genetic Opera, CarGo, Foodfight!, Bee Movie, Fateful Findings, and, of course, The Room.

Ah, who doesn't love that that magic moment when you sit down to make some new work and...nothing interesting happens. Yeah, uh...exactly no one loves that moment. Steph and Cam talk about their experiences with creative blocks and ways they, as well as others, suggest getting through them. Also in this episode: Steph tells us about her experiences using gouache for the first time, both Cam and Steph chuckle about the many ways people mispronounce that word (goosh??), Cam apparently feels that many things "have value", and a new ending segment is introduced! Oh, and, Stephanie laughs at the words "touch" and "hole". Music by Jonathan Stutz (stutzmusic.bandcamp.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

Welcome to a (surprise) mini episode of Drunk Art Chat! Cam and Steph talk about their thoughts and experiences with the idea of artists getting paid in "exposure". They also discuss working for family members, their process for pricing work, and Steph tells us about a time it was hard to say no to a commission at a con (even though she really wanted to). The song in this episode is entitled "Intentional Mess" by Jonathan Stutz (stutzmusic.bandcamp.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

**CONTENT WARNING: this episode has mentions of sexual harassment/assault, remarks made by anti-LGBTQIA people, and not so positive race-related topics. ** Cam and Steph attempt to discuss the issue of problematic artists and their work. For the first half of the podcast, they are joined by writer Scott Nichols (@duckols) to touch on various creators that fall into this category. In the second half, they dissect and discuss the visual art of Rachel Dolezal. Music by Jonathan Stutz (stutzmusic.bandcamp.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support

In this episode, Cam remembers the thing they wanted to ask Stephanie! We mostly dig deeper into our backgrounds as artists and take it all the way back to high school (warning: episode contains high volumes of venting/ranting). I mean, who DOESN'T miss being under a ton of pressure about choosing what to do for "the rest of your life" as an 18-year-old?? Ugh, those dang heckin' millennials with their crippling debt and crushing anxiety. Music by Jonathan Stutz (stutzmusic.bandcamp.com) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support
